Just like our National Public Radio.
You mean the one that fired Juan Williams, for being politically incorrect??:lol:

I actually don't care much for Sun News. I'm a traditionalist, I like the CTV setup.
But while were on the topic, will someone tell Brian Lilley to get a haircut.
That swirl on top of his head reminds me of
Pain is temporary, pride is forever.Well then! My apologies!
During the afternoon and in prime time, Sun News programming bested the state broadcaster's News Network by more than 30,000 viewers. CTV News Channel was a distant third.
While Canada Live - guest-hosted by Anita Sharma - reached 72,900 viewers, according to BBM ratings data, the CBC's afternoon programming only had an audience of 37,900. CTV logged 34,000 viewers during the same coveted 3-5 p.m. timeslot.
Even more remarkable is that while Charles Adler was reaching 82,300 viewers at 8 p.m. ET, the CBC could only muster an audience of 58,200. CTV was third place that night with 39,600 tuning in.
Later Friday, Byline with Brian Lilley tied the network record with an audience of 89,000. Sun News' 9 p.m. ET show throttled the meager 18,000-viewer audience for CTV, and nearly knocking the decades-old CBC newscast hosted by Peter Mansbridge off its taxpayer-funded pedestal. Joining the ratings successes, Ezra Levant's show The Source registered 57,000 viewers at 5 p.m. ET.
That crushed CTV's audience of 28,000 viewers and was within striking distance of CBC's audience of 59,200 over the same period.
These early ratings wins come at a time when Sun News is only available in about 5.5 million households, compared with CBC News Network in 10.6 million homes and CTV in 8.5 million.
"What makes these numbers truly impressive is that we don't receive over a billion dollars in taxpayer support to make it happen," said Sun News spokesman Luc Lavoie.
"On top of that, we don't have anywhere near the household distribution of CBC or CTV."

Since all the rest are biased to the left...what is all the fuss about one biased to the right:smile:It's a fuking news channel, who cares? They're all biased in their own way and frankly none are worth watching considering you can get the news via the internet hours before it is broadcast.

I agree Sun News could win a market share in a regional or even a city of Toronto survey
perhaps even a ratings diary in a specific market, but if you are trying to tell me that Sun
News is number 1 in Canada, you are delusional. For the moment CTV, CBC and Global
are likely the most watched. and will be for some time to come because nationally Sun
News simply does not have the resources to compete financially on a national level, not
yet at least anyway. For someone to make the statement especially if it was Sun News.
it like George Bush landing on the aircraft carrier saying Mission Accomplished in the
Middle East. We all know the truth about that now too don't we
Levant blowing his own horn. I wonder if he practices yoga to be able to pull that off?

It was a joke Sleepy. A friend once said the only reason he would learn yoga was to be flexable enough to blow his own horn. Knowing him he would die doing it, draining himself dry.I'm sure if the ratings went the other way you would be on the very top of the bandwagon blowing the horn...
I don't think you are as neutral or centrist as you claim to be...your leaning is definitely showing through;-)
